Summary:

The 68970 zip code is home to a single high school, Red Cloud High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. As the only high school in this rural area, Red Cloud High School faces unique challenges in supporting its relatively small student population of 106 students.

While Red Cloud High School maintains a slightly below-average 4-year graduation rate of 88.1%, it struggles with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism at 21.1%. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science fall short of state averages, with 7th and 8th-grade students performing particularly poorly. Additionally, the school's 11th-grade ACT Science proficiency rate of 15% is well below the state average of 25.25%. These academic performance concerns may be linked to the high percentage (46.23%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages within the student population.

Despite the academic challenges, Red Cloud High School benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1 and high per-student spending of $23,889, which is significantly above the state average. These resources could potentially be leveraged to implement targeted interventions and support programs to address the school's attendance and academic performance issues. Collaboration with the Red Cloud Community Schools district and community stakeholders may be crucial in developing and implementing effective strategies to improve student outcomes at this small, rural high school.
